Ingredients

• Pound of red potatoes, boiled and cubed
• 6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1/2 cup of mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
• 1/4 cup of chopped green onions
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Start by boiling the red potatoes in a large pot of salted water until they are tender. Once cooked, drain and let them cool before cubing them into bite-sized pieces.
2. In a separate skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and let it cool. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, chopped green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
4. Add the cubed potatoes and crumbled bacon to the bowl with the dressing mixture. Gently toss the ingredients together until the potatoes are well coated with the dressing.
5. For the best flavor, cover the bowl and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and the potato salad to chill.
6. Once chilled, give the potato salad a quick stir before serving. Garnish with additional chopped green onions and bacon if desired.
7. Serve the Scotch-Irish potato salad as a side dish with grilled meats, burgers, or sandwiches. It can also be enjoyed on its own as a light and refreshing salad.
